    Marlins acquired OF Ricardo Cespedes and RHP Merandy Gonzalez from the Marlins for RHP A.J. Ramos.

    No, not that Cespedes. The 19-year-old outfielder has advanced above rookie ball for the first time this season, slashing .255/.283/.294 with one homer, 15 RBI and a 22/4 K/BB ratio across Rookie League, Low-A Brooklyn and Class-A Columbia. Like Gonzalez, Cespedes will have to be added to the 40-man roster this winter if the Marlins intend to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.

    Blue Jays optioned INF Charles McAdoo to Triple-A Buffalo.

    With Daulton Vasho returning from the injured list on Saturday, someone needed to get the boot from the Jays’ bench and McAdoo wound up being the odd man out this time around. The 24-year-old hit .160 (4-for-25) with a homer, three RBI and a 6/0 K/BB ratio in his limited time with the Jays. He’ll return to an everyday role at the Triple-A level until he’s needed again.

    Blue Jays optioned LHP Brendon Little to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Little’s stay with the big league club lasted just one day this time around as he gave up four runs on three hits and a pair of walks in his lone inning of work against the Cubs on Friday afternoon. Lazaro Estrada was activated from the 60-day injured list to take his spot in a Jays’ bullpen that has been heavily taxed in recent days.

    Blue Jays activated RHP Lazaro Estrada from the 60-day injured list.

    As anticipated, Estrada will rejoin the Blue Jays’ bullpen on Saturday after being sidelined since April 5 due to a right shoulder impingement. He has made just one appearance with the team this season, hurling four scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Brendon Little was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move to clear a spot in the Jays’ bullpen.

    Cubs’ skipper Craig Counsell told reporters on Saturday that the MRI on the injured elbow of right-hander Daniel Palencia revealed only a minor flexor strain.

    That’s about the best possible news that the Cubs and fantasy managers could have received here. The expectation is that he’ll be shut down from throwing for about a week before starting to ramp back up. The Cubs will likely patch together the ninth inning in the meantime.

    Nathan Eovaldi was scratched from his scheduled start against the Padres on Saturday due to left knee soreness.

    The Rangers are calling the issue minor and it doesn’t sound like there are any immediate plans to place Eovaldi on the injured list. MacKenzie Gore, who had been scheduled to start on Sunday, will pitch on Saturday in Eovaldi’s place. The 36-year-old right-hander is considered day-to-day.

    Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Saturday that Austin Wells (neck) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Sunday.

    Wells, who has been sidelined since early June due to cervical headaches, has been playing in minor league rehab games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since Tuesday. Expect Ali Sanchez to return to Triple-A upon Wells’ return on Sunday.

    Colt Keith is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Saturday afternoon’s skirmish against the White Sox.

    With left-hander Sean Newcomb toeing the slab for the White Sox, Keith will have to wait to make his entrance into the ballgame until the Pale Hose go to the bullpen. Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop and bat ninth while Kevin McGonigle slides over to cover the hot corner.

    Chase Meidroth is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Saturday afternoon’s battle against the Tigers at Comerica Park.

    It appears to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 24-year-old second baseman. Sam Antonacci will move into the infield and start at second base while Randal Grichuk makes a rare start against a right-hander and will bat fifth for the White Sox against Troy Melton and the Tigers.

    Danny Young (elbow) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with the Braves’ Florida Complex League affiliate on Saturday.

    The 32-year-old southpaw is working his way back from Tommy John surgery and is going to require a lengthy rehab stint before he’s an option to help out the Braves. Young holds a 4.01 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and a 78/25 K/BB ratio over 60 2/3 innings in his MLB career.
